Stories, insights & thoughts

We’re happy to help you look for the ideal end-of-year employee gift.

We get it. There are countless reasons for recog­nis­ing your employees with a meaningful gift on their birthday. To help you get started, we’ve summarised the 8 most compelling arguments in this article.

With limited room for salary increases and the phasing out of benefits like eco vouchers, employees’ purchasing power is under pressure. As a result, more and more HR pro­fes­sion­als are looking for creative ways to show appre­ci­a­tion and retain talent. In this article, we highlight the key trends.

The gift gap is the difference between what the giver intended and how the recipient expe­ri­ences the gift. In a business envi­ron­ment, this mismatch can cause appre­ci­a­tion to be mis­un­der­stood or even coun­ter­pro­duc­tive. For­tu­nate­ly, with the right approach, you can minimise the gift gap and choose gifts that really make an impact.

Appre­ci­a­tion works. Even a simple gesture can motivate employees to go the extra mile. The secret? Reci­procity. When people receive something, they instinc­tive­ly feel inclined to give something back. In this blog, you’ll discover how reci­procity works and how you as an employer or HR pro­fes­sion­al can apply this principle strate­gi­cal­ly.

Non-financial rewards are not a nice-to-have, but a must. They are what makes the difference between ​‘work’ and ​‘this is where I want to stay’. In this blog you’ll discover why and how you as an HR pro­fes­sion­al can embed recog­ni­tion in your organ­i­sa­tion. No empty words, but practical actions with real impact.

Organ­i­sa­tions are currently facing many new challenges. The workplace is more diverse than ever, with different gen­er­a­tions each with their own needs and pref­er­ences. Many companies are more than ever putting workplace happiness, , appre­ci­a­tion and recog­ni­tion of employees high on the priority list. People who feel appre­ci­at­ed become happier.

If you really want to stand out and make an impact with your company or customer gifts, one thing is absolutely essential… per­son­al­i­sa­tion!
